Saad Rafi of Ontario Retirement Pension Plan is part of this year's Wealth Professional Canada's Host List.
SAÄD RAFI
Ontario Retirement Pension Plan
When the host of a major sporting event delivers the facilities on time and within budget, it’s almost unheard of – so when Saäd Rafi, CEO of last summer’s hugely successful Pan Am/Parapan Games in Toronto, was able to achieve that feat, it clearly marked him as someone who could get things done. It wasn’t much of a surprise, then, when the Ontario government tapped Rafi in January to head the independent Ontario Retirement Pension Plan Administration Corporation. As such, he will be tasked with overseeing the province’s new savings scheme. The hole in Canada’s pension provisions is a dilemma that needs immediate remedy; addressing the problem in the nation’s most populated province will be another huge task for Rafi.
